The old gentleman had been hired many years earlier by a young town councilman to clear away the debris from the pools of water up in the mountain crevices that fed the lovely spring flowing through their town. With faithful, silent regularity, he patrolled the hills, removed the leaves and branches, and wiped away the silt that would otherwise have choked and contaminated the fresh flow of water. 26 Graceful swans floated along the crystal clear spring, the mill wheels of various businesses located near the water turned day and night, farmlands were naturally irrigated, and the views from restaurants were picturesque beyond description.Years passed. 27 As they reviewed the budget, one man's eye caught the salary being paid to the obscure keeper of the spring. Said the keeper of the purse, "Who is the old man? Why do we keep him on year after year? No one ever sees him. For all we know, the strange ranger of the hills is doing us no good. He isn't necessary any longer 28 .For several weeks, nothing changed.By early autumn, the trees began to shed their leaves. Small branches snapped off and fell into the pools, hindering the rushing flow of sparkling water. One afternoon someone noticed a slight yellowish- brown tint in the spring. 29 Within another week, a slimy film covered sections of the water the banks, and a foul odor was soon detected. The mill wheels moved more slowly, some finally ground to a halt, Swans left, as did the tourists. 30

Research Is a State of MindFor many years there has been much misunderstanding as to just what research is. The popular conception seems to be that there is something mysterious about it, and before any research can be done it is necessary to have expensive scientific apparatus and large, elaborately equipped laboratories. Actually, this is not so. __26__ It is a simple, organized way of trying to accomplish something you wish to do—so simple that anyone can do research anywhere at any time.First, you select the problem you would like to solve, then you list at least ten reasons why it has not been solved. __27__ It takes just as much effort to solve a useless problem as a useful one. __28__After carefully—and I want to emphasize that word “carefully”—selecting the problem and the ten things between you and the solution, you then use the same procedure as in solving a crossword puzzle. __29__ In the solution of the remaining obstacles you may need some simple apparatus, but the things you will probably need most are infinite patience and persistence. Few people realize the difficulties of doing any new thing.Maybe one of the reasons people are so easily discouraged is because of their education. During all our years at school we were examined two or three times a year. If we failed once, we were out. __30__ If we are going to make progress, we must learn to fail intelligently so that we won't become discouraged at the 99.9 per cent failure.

Majored FinanceAn increase in students __31__ to study economics at university is being attributed to （归因于）the global economic crisis awakening a public thirst for knowledge about how the __32__ system works.Applications for degree courses beginning this autumn were up by 15% this January, according to UCAS, the Universities and Colleges Admissions Service. A __33__ for the Royal Economic Society said applications to do economics at A-level were also up.Professor John Beath, the president of the society and a leading lecturer at St Andrews University, said his first-year lectures—which are open to students from all departments—were __34__ crowds of 400, rather than the usual 250."There are a large number of students who are not __35__ majors, who would like to learn something about it. One of the things I have done this year is to relate my teaching to contemporary __36__ in a way that one hasn't traditionally done," he added.University applications rose 7% last year. But there were rises above average in several subjects. Nursing saw a 15% jump, with people's renewed interest in __37__ in the public sector （部门） ,which are seen as more secure in economic crisis.A recent study showed almost two thirds of parents __38__ schools should do more to teach pupils about financial matters, and almost half said their children had asked them what was going on, although a __39__ of parents felt they did not understand it themselves well enough to explain.Zack Hocking, the head of child trust funds, said: "It's possible that one good thing to __40__ from the downturn will be a generation that's financially wiser and better equipped to manage their money through times of economic uncertainty."

Even Intelligent People Can Fail① The striking thing about the innovators who succeeded in making our modern world is how often they failed. Turn on a light, take a photograph, watch TV, search the Web, jet across the Pacific Ocean, talk on a cellphone（手机）. The innovators who left us these things had to find the way to success through a maze （错综复杂） of wrong turns.② We have just celebrated the 125th anniversary of American innovator Thomas Edison's success in heating a thin line to white-hot heat for 14 hours in his lab in New Jersey, U. S. He did that on October 22,1879 ,and followed up a month later by keeping a thread of common cardboard alight （点亮着的） in an airless space for 45 hours. Three years later he went on to light up half a square mile of downtown Manhattan, even though only one of the six power plants in his design worked when he turned it on, on September 4, 1882.③ "Many of life's failures," the supreme innovator said," are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up."Before that magical moment in October 1879, Edison had worked out no fewer than 3,000 theories about electric light, but in only two cases did his experiments work.④ No one likes failure, but the smart innovators learn from it. Mark Gumz, the head of the camera maker Olympus America Inc, attributes some of the company's successes in technology to understanding failure. His popular phrase is:"You only fail when you quit."⑤ Over two centuries, the most common quality of the innovators has been persistence. That is another way of saying they had the emotional ability to keep up what they were doing. Walt Disney, the founder of Disneyland, was so broke after a succession of financial failures that he was left shoeless in his office because he could not afford the U. S. 1.50→≥thisshoesomtherepairshop.Πo≠er∈gcarmakerHenryFordfai≤dwitho≠companyandwasforcedoutofa¬herbeforehedevelopedtheMo∂Tcar.⑥ Failure is harder to bear in today's open, accelerated world. Hardly any innovation works the first time. But an impatient society and the media want instant success. When American music and movie master David Geffen had a difficult time, a critic said nastily that the only difference between Geffen Records (Geffen's company) and the Titanic (the ship that went down) was that the Titanic had better music. Actually, it wasn't. After your years of losses, Geffen had so many hits(成功的作品)he could afford a ship as big as the Titanic all to himself.

Advertising to Children__26__ Not only are they easily swayed by advertising, they are also persuasive in encouraging their parents to buy a product. If a child wants something in their kid's locker, they will prod and annoy their parents until they get what they want. __27__ All it takes is a little suggestion from a single advertisement to send them on their way.__28__ In a campaign entitled "Kids are the Star", its employees were encouraged to pay special attention to children and to make sure they had a positive experience while eating at its restaurants. The reason for this, naturally, was not that the McDonald's corporation cared deeply about the well-being of children everywhere, but that the pester-power that children have is extraordinarily effective at bringing their parents back for more visits.The way that advertisers target children is simple big, bright lights, happy people and animated characters are all that is needed to encourage children to think a certain product is something they want. __29__ They do not realize that Ronald McDonald is just a guy in a Costum and make-up, and that behind the counter of every McDonald's is a bunch of kids working in uncomfortable conditions for low pay.This poses a real moral dilemma for those who make the advertising decisions, or at least it should. __30__ How do you say no to an opportunity to reach such a wide audience of children, who act as advertisers themselves when they encourage other children and their parents to buy a particular product?

For those who are tired doing the laundry, Samsung has found an answer: a washing machine that can tell you when your __31__ is done via a smartphone app(application).Strange though it may seem—"my wife already does that" was a common response among attendees viewing the device when it was __32__ at the Consumer Electronics Show(CES) this week—Samsung is just one of many appliance makers racing to install（安装）a large __33__ of interact-connected features in machines in an __34__ to make them "smart".Last year, it was a refrigerator that tweeted. This year, it's WiFi — enabled laundry machines and __35__ that can tell you when your groceries are going bad.The washers and dryers, available starting in the spring, connect to any smartphone through a downloadable __36__ .The phone can then be used as a remote control, so the machines can be turned on and off while their owners is at work or on the bus.Samsung says it's not just something new—the app connection actually has some practical uses."If you started to dry clothes in the morning and __37__ to take them out, you can go to your phone and restart your dryer for the time when come home, so your clothes are __38__ and ready to go," said spokesperson Amy Schmidt.The company also says that with electricity rate（电价） varying depending on the time of day, more control over when the machines are used can help __39__ money.Perhaps, but what they will probably really accomplish is what all good technologies do—enable laziness. Rather than __40__ up to check on whether the laundry is done, users will instead monitor it on their phones while watching TV. 1.31. 2.32. 3.33. 4.34. 5.35. 6.36. 7.37. 8.38. 9.39. 10.40.
